Monday nights used to be ladies' night at the pool. So, last Monday, we went...no planning, spontaneous...all 5 us ladies...2 moms, 2 sweet young things (Ling and Siah) and Lil One. But when we got there...Ladies' Night has been scrapped....not many ladies go swimming it seemed. So, every night is 'open night' now.
It's been quite some time since we last did this...going swimming like this. When the boys and girls were younger, about 5-6 years back, swimming was something we did almost everyday during the end of the year break. That was the time when both the boys (mine and Huan) learned to swim from Din. I, too decided to pick up swimming as sitting and waiting for them to finish was quite boring. Eventually....the 2 girls were convinced to join..then their ma. Other Half would join whenever his work schedule permitted it.
So, every morning, at an unearthly hour of 7.15 a.m., the kids would trooped into the car and off we would go to the pool. We'd spend half the morning there. Those excursions were followed by breakfast. That went on almost the whole holiday. By the end of the hols, all could swim relatively well, including yours truly.
When school reopened, we still wanted to swim...so since girls outnumbered boys...we started swimming on Monday nights...Ladies' Night. The 2 boys followed for a good part of the year as they were still below 12. LOL! It's nice to have such fond memories.
As I watched my Lil Girl, I count my blessings cos she is very fortunate that she has 2 big 'playmates' who are often times double up as her big sisters. She had lotsa fun... we had fun too. It's nice to be able to do things such as these. 8)
Anyway, last Mon, after swimming and feeling famished, we went to Fresh for tomyam...which Siah fondly calls 'ayam..yam yam'... something like that. Lil One had fish and chips while we tucked in the tom-yam which packs a real punch....guarantee to give you a full lips like Angelina Jolie's. Those chillies they use must contain lots of capsaicin....cos even the first mouthful will burned.... Crazy, huh? To subject ourselves to such torture... LOL!
